The Georgia Bulldogs could be without one of their starting defenders for the Sugar Bowl against the Ole Miss Rebels on New Year’s Day. Starting defensive end Gabe Harris is dealing with a turf toe injury, per Dawgs Central’s Graham Coffey.
The 6-foot-4, 260-pound defender has 26 tackles and one sack this season. Harris’ injury is reportedly minor, but turf toe is easy to re-injure, so Harris’ status will be one to monitor.

We’ll find out more on Harris and other injured Georgia players including center Drew Bobo, receiver Noah Thomas, and running back Bo Walker leading up to the Sugar Bowl. Georgia coach Kirby Smart is unlikely to provide many specifics in press conferences, but the Bulldogs will have to submit an official College Football Playoff injury report three days before Sugar Bowl kickoff and update it the following days including 90 minutes before game time.
If Harris is unable to play or limited, then Joseph Jonah-Ajonye, Elo Modozie, JJ Hanne and Kris Jones would all be expected to play more snaps with Jonah-Ajonye absorbing the largest part of that share.
